IF FIBRO ISLAND MEANS THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT, MAN I WOULD WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM IT. IF IT MEANS THE ONLY PLACE FOR PAIN RELIEF AND COMFORT THAN I WOULD SAY I WOULD GO. BUT IT IS NOT SPECIFIED WHAT IT WOULD BE FOR.

I'm not sure what "Fibro Island" is, I thought is an imaginary place someone made up for us to fantasize and joke about? Am I stupid?

The last few days ahave been very stressful on all of us as a family on this board. some of us more than others. Some of that stress has come from family situations outside the board and some has come from family situations inside the board. I feel very strongly that this is a family and like any family there will be some ups and downs. feelings get hurt sometimes intentionally but most times unintentional. We have all come here for the purpose of support. We need each other to get through our days especially when we encounter so many people that don't understand and support us on the outside. I would like to see our family here heal and be able to move beyond the past week so I am reviveing the posts of Fibro Island. The other thread was getting long and when this one was started I tried to pull all the wonderful things we have fantazied about into one list. Please everyone take some time today to visit Fibro Island in your mind remember why we all wanted to go there in the first place and remember why we all came to this site in the first place as well.

Lovwe and hugs to all my fibro family see you on the island

Karen

Snoop, This island sounds wonderful, I will have to go and also get me a new pair of fancy sun glasses, and the thought of hubby rubbing my feet sounds awsome, and I will have to bring my 3 dashhounds as I go nowhere with out them, you will all love them to, you can pet them anytime you want to.I like the idea of the sun shinning on my back and hitting all my trigger points. I also love that I can have shrimp and some fresh and tastey fruit and veggies.
